WWII Nazi Genuine Strand of Eva Braun’s Hair
Genuine Strand of Eva Braun’s Hair. Eva Braun was the lover of Adolf Hitler and eventually became his wife the day before their suicide. Braun had known Hitler since 1929 and came to be lovers in 1931. Though Hitler wanted to maintain the image that he was single and solely dedicated to his work, he made many accommodations for Braun and spent many nights with her alone, either in his vacation home Berghof near Berchtesgaden or in his apartment in Munich and Berlin. She would marry Hitler on April 29, 1945 before committing suicide together with him the next day. The hair strand came off of her personal hairbrush, which was a part of her vanity set that was removed from her apartment at the Berghof vacation home by Captain Paul Bear G-2 Section of the 7th US Army in May 1945. Included is a certificate of authenticity. Very good condition. See lots 152-193 for more Adolf Hitler items. From the Michael Clifton collection. From the Michael Clifton collection.
